The book for this year's One Book, One County series is How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent, by Julia Alvarez. This is a book about 4 sisters from the Dominican Republic who emigrated to the United States.

Some of the themes in this book that we'll explore are food, family relationships, learning English, and integration into American culture.
